Table 1 Examples of potential factors in the categories of Context, Intervention, and Mechanism with coding criteria
Category and factor | Coding criteria: Assign 1 when | Coding criteria: Assign 0 when |
|---|---|---|
Context (C) | ||
Fit | The intervention is described as implemented in response to a specific organizational need | The intervention is implemented without consideration of a specific need |
Presence of co-occurring changes | Changes co-occurring with the intervention are mentioned | No co-occurring changes are described |
Homogeneity of the profession | Intervention participants all have the same/similar job (e.g., all are nurses, all are teachers, etc.) | Participants in the interventions have mixed jobs/professions |
Intervention (I) | ||

Action plans | The intervention involved planning future JC activities by participants | No plans for JC activities were created by participants as a result of an intervention |
Reminders | The participants received reminders about fulfilling action plans or post-workshop homework | No reminders were provided for participants about fulfilling action plans or post-workshop homework |
Mechanism (M) | ||
Job demands-resources model | The authors indicate that their intervention study and hypotheses are based on the JD-R model | No or theories other than the JD-R model are mentioned |
Self-determination theory | The authors clearly indicate that their intervention study and hypotheses are based on self-determination theory | No or theories other than self-determination theory are mentioned |
Theory of planned behavior | The authors clearly indicate that their intervention study and hypotheses are based on the theory of planned behavior | No, or other, theories than the theory of planned behavior are mentioned |
